San Minn 作為一位愛人民的緬甸畫家，痛心緬甸國民生命長期受到各種威脅。畫作都是表達百姓面對的社會問題。愛之深，責之切。他用直接的筆觸繪畫槍械、酒精、因污染產生的缺水問題等，以喚起關注。

相反，Aye Ko認為自己創作時必須抽離所處的時空，進入虛無的冥想狀態。在他所稱的「零空間」中，線條、色彩、動感自然而生，Aye Ko便把這些元素收入畫布中。看似無為，其實何嘗不是把最真、最深的感知表達出來？知音人無須直言也可共鳴。

想多感受和認識緬甸畫家獨特的畫風和深層意境，不容錯過San Minn和Aye Ko看似異迴不同、卻同是最深情、最坦蕩、充滿感染力的作品。

Despite the isolated nature of the country, Myanmar ’s artists have been surprisingly radical and free to express their own opinions and feelings.

“Point-blank 0space”, an exhibition of works by Burmese artists Aye Ko and San Minn, explores life in Myanmar . San Minn's surrealist paintings offer commentary on pressing social issues. In contrast, Aye Ko likes to create arts in a meditation status. From the space of blankness, the lines, colors and movements come out automatically to reflect his deep emotion.

As the paintings from these two artists are different both in style and subject, they offer contrasting views on Myanmar as it is today. Yet, both Aye Ko and San Minn have one thing in common - a true dedication to meaning and significance in their artwork. All of their art is imbued with meaning, yet not overly blatantly so. These subtle references leave a wide field of interpretation, and never directly impose opinions on the viewer. Instead, it leads the viewer to contemplate and come to their own conclusions on both the state of Myanmar , and their own cultural background and society.
